4. Here is a conversion kit for submarine type IXC 40 (REVELL 05133) U-805 http://rcsubs.cz/index.php/80-uvod/130-ixc40-805-172
5. you'd think it would've been humiliating flying the Royal Navy flag but I suppose the German lads were just happy to be alive and that the war's over.
6. 0:30 HMS Hesperus.
7. Great to find this footage... I have the actual Chief Engineer's technical handbook taken from U826 when she surrendered at Loch Eriboll in 1945.
